A new Gallup-China Daily study released today reports that while a majority of Americans are wary about China’s growing in influence in the world, 81 percent of American adults (and 88 percent of U.S. “opinion makers”) say that a close U.S. relationship with China is a “good thing.” “Many Americans view strong U.S.-China relations as positive for the U.S.,” the study concludes, “however, they perceive barriers and express concerns over a number of issues that will impact this relationship, including China’s growing military, a general lack of trust between the two countries, concerns about human rights, and a growing demand for natural resources.”
